Charging Profile
1 Charging Profile
Figure 1 shows the lead-acid charging profile used in this reference design.
If the battery voltage is very low, a slow charge current is applied and limited until the voltage rises above
a pre-set threshold value Vt. The full charge current is then applied. Once full charge is detected on the
voltage of the battery, the system switches to a floating charge and maintains the battery voltage at a fixed
threshold. At any time, the system will run in MPPT mode if the available power is lower than the power
required to achieve voltage or current regulation.

DC/DC Converter
5 DC/DC Converter
The DC/DC converter stage is a step up/step down four switch converter as shown in Figure 4. This stage
transfers the power from the PV panel to the load.
Figure 4. DC/DC Converter Stage
C18, R11, and D15 as shown in the system schematic in Figure 20, form a snubber to reduce ripple on
the switch node on the “Buck” side of the converter. C19,R14 and D14 form a snubber circuit to reduce
ripple on the switch node of the “Boost” side of the converter.
When the circuit operates in Buck mode, the Boost switch node will issue small pulses at a lower
frequency in order to recharge the Bootstrap capacitor of Q2. Likewise, in Boost mode, the Buck switch
node will pulse to recharge the bootstrap capacitor of Q1.
Specific design guidelines for the DC/DC converter can be found in the AN-2124 Power Circuit Design for
SolarMagic SM3320 Application Report (SNOSB84) for power optimizers.
Specific timings related to the switches can be found in SM72442 Programmable Maximum Power Point
Tracking Controller for Photovoltaic Solar Panels (SNVS689) and SM72295 Photovoltaic Full Bridge Driver
(SNVS688).
The waveforms in Figure 5 through Figure 8 are examples of the switching signals of the DC/DC converter
stage.
If the system is to be used at elevated power levels causing high temperature increases in MOSFETs Q1,
Q2, Q3, and/or Q4, we recommend the use of a proper heatsink for the MOSFETs, especially at higher
ambient temperatures. Care must be taken to prevent electrical contact between the drains of the
MOSFETs in the process of proper heatsinking.

Programmable Modes/Gain Settings

Figure 7. Boost Gate Drive Signals From SM72442 Figure 8. Switch Nodes in Boost Mode
6 Programmable Modes/Gain Settings
The voltage dividers for the output voltage sensing are set to ensure high resolution of the output voltage
while providing a safe voltage (<5V) for the SM72442 and microcontroller.
The default resistor setting in this reference design sets a full scale of 30V.
The programmable modes of the SM72442 used in this design are as follows:
VADC2 = 5V (50% of 4sec in BB)
VADC6 = 5V (startup at 0mA)
VADC0 = 0V. This value provides an initial output voltage limit of 19V. However, this limit will be
modified by the microcontroller through I2C before the controller begins supplying the battery.
VADC4 = 5V. Current limiting will be done externally so the max current limit can be set at full scale.
7 Current Sense Gains and Offset
The gain of the current sensing circuit depends on the application. In our system it was set with a gain of
0.44 V/Amps. The gain is set by a pull-down resistor at the output of IOUT (12) and IIN (3) pins of the
SM72295 as stated in the data sheet of the device.

Start-Up Circuitry
8 Start-Up Circuitry
If the panel voltage is lower than the battery voltage, a start up circuit (Figure 9) is required to force the
duty cycle high enough to create a flow of current to the battery. Once current is established, the circuit
can be turned off to allow MPPT operation to perform.
Figure 9. Start-Up Boost Circuitry
As long as the start-up circuit is activated, the duty cycle will increase every 1ms up to its maximum value.
However, the duty cycle will still be limited by the SM72442’s internal output voltage limiter.
The circuit is turned on when the anode of D101 and the cathode of D100 are kept at 5V. It is disabled
when that node is set at 0V.
The circuit should be disabled 5ms after current begins to flow into the battery to allow proper MPPT
operation.
If the current drops to 0 for any reason (no light, reset, and so on) the start-up circuit can be re-engaged
according to the timing diagram in Figure 10.
This circuit operates by sensing the average value of the gate voltage on the main buck switch (Q1) and
main boost switch (Q4). This value is fed back to the input current sense of the SM72442. At the same
time, a constant 4.4V is set at the input voltage sense pin of the SM72442. This results in the SM72442
measuring a virtual power that increases each time the duty cycle is increased and decreases each time
the duty cycle is decreased. The SM72442 will track this virtual power and increase the duty cycle of the
converter continuously. When this circuit is de-activated, the real input voltage and current appear at the
sensing pins of the SM72442 chip which will then perform regular MPPT operation.

Figure 11 shows the expected waveform if the panel voltage is less than the battery voltage. The panel
Vmp for this example is 12V @ 3A and the battery voltage is at 25V. Figure 12 showcases the magnified
version of the battery current shown in Figure 11.
NOTE: To highlight the boosting capability of the system and start-up circuit, the board has been re-
configured to run with a 24V battery for the experiments shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12.

Q9 keep the topside output FET Q2 from turning on. The power will flow through the parallel diode D7
instead. This prevents the battery from discharging into the PV panels. Q2 can be disabled using the
microcontroller or a comparator (U12A) connected to the output current sensing: when current drops
below the threshold value, Q2 is disabled. The threshold is set to 1A by default.

Output Current Regulation
10 Output Current Regulation
Current regulation is enforced by a comparator (U11A). The current setting can be switched from a low
current limit to a high current limit with a bit set by the microcontroller. When microcontroller pin RC5 (pin
number 16) is set to high impedance, the high current limit is set. When pin RC5 is set to 0V, the low
current limit is set.
In this design, the high current limit is set to 9A and the low current limit to 0.5A.
11 Voltage Regulation
Voltage regulation with the SM72442 is performed internally. The initial output voltage setting is set
through pin A0 (0-5V). The output voltage set point can then be changed through the I2C communication
interface by setting the register 0x03 bits 20:29 to the required voltage set point and bit 46 to 1.
Figure 13 shows the system performing voltage regulation on the battery at 13.5V.
In addition to the voltage regulation, a comparator (U11B) will reset the SM72442 and cause the DC/DC
converter to shutdown if the output voltage increases beyond the values set by R71 and R72. When the
negative input of the comparator reaches over 5V, the SM72442 controller will be reset. The default value
corresponds to 14.6V battery voltage.

MPPT

12 MPPT
The SM72442 chip will perform the MPPT function using an implementation of the Perturb and Observe
algorithm method. The MPPT algorithm will extract maximum power from the solar panel and deliver it to
the battery regardless of the panel’s characteristics. Figure 14 and Figure 15 show the effect on the panel
voltage as the MPPT algorithm maintains constant power at the panel regardless of the voltage on the
battery.

Microcontroller Functions
13 Microcontroller Functions
The charge profile is implemented in the current design using a PIC16F722 microcontroller.
13.1 Normal Operation
The flowchart in Figure 16 details the operation of the microcontroller needed to achieve the desired
charging pattern.
Modification to this flowchart can easily be done and programmed to include:
Modified threshold depending on temperature (if battery temperature information available).
Timer to maintain high voltage threshold for a certain time before switching to floating charge to
maximize energy stored in the battery.
Pulse charging during the float charge period.
The microcontroller is programmed using a 10 pin CLE-105 connector (J5). The connections are:
1: NC (Not Connected)
2: PGD/ICSPDAT
3: GND
4: PGC/ICSPCLK
5: NC
6: GND
7: +5Vdc
8: MCLR!
9: GND
10: NC
Refer to the Microchip website for proper programming/debugging of the PIC16F family microcontrollers.
13.2 Start-Up Operation
At start-up, the microcontroller needs to assess the PV and battery voltage to verify proper connection and
values.
If the values are within the specified range (correct panel and battery voltage), the microcontroller enables
the charge by releasing the RESET line of the SM72442 chip. If needed, the start-up circuit is turned on
by setting RB5 to ‘1’ (5V) (If the microcontroller used in the application is running below 5V, a level shifting
circuit will be necessary).
Once current begins to flow in the battery the start-up circuit can be released.
While the start-up circuit is enabled, the panel current and voltage are not available through I2C. The
corresponding registers can be read but will not contain the correct values.
13.3 Safety Feature
The microcontroller is programmed by default to stop charging the battery if the output voltage is above
14.5V or below 8V.

Microcontroller Program Code
14 Microcontroller Program Code
The flowchart in Figure 17 is representative of the code programmed inside the microcontroller.
The check_lead_acid function issues a value depending on the state of the battery as detected by the
voltage. The main function uses this value to issue the proper action. The other functions in the program
are essentially I2C driver functions and low level port setup functions.

Microcontroller Program Code
www.ti.com
14.1 Function: check_lead_acid()
This function senses the battery voltage through the microcontroller’s A/D converter. The A/D conversion
is needed because the current limiting circuit in hardware acts on the voltage sensing line of the
SM72442. Therefore, when the system is running in high current mode, the voltage sensed by the
SM72442 is not the battery voltage. If the current limitation is not necessary, such as panels with limited
power capabilities, the voltage used by the check_lead_acid() function could be changed to the value
recovered from the SM72442 through I2C instead of using the microcontroller’s ADC.
This function verifies the state of the battery by sensing its voltage and returns an 8 bit number related to
the state of the battery:
0: No change
1: Battery reached the full State Of Charge voltage
2: Battery voltage is low
3: Battery voltage is too low or battery damaged/disconnected
4: Battery voltage is above the acceptable value: battery damaged or disconnected
5: Battery voltage has reached above 13.6V. This is usually due to the lower limit on the duty cycle of
the buck converter. When the battery stays in floating charge state for too long, the converter will keep
pumping a minimum current into the battery which could result in an increase of the battery voltage
beyond the desired floating charge voltage range.
6: Battery voltage has returned to an acceptable value
States 5 and 6 correspond to the state of charge of the battery after it has reached it's floating charge
state value of 13.5V. When “5” is returned by this function, the program will completely cut the charge into
the battery (by issuing a reset to the SM72442 via PORTB of the microcontroller). When “6” is returned by
this function, the program will re-enable the floating charge into the battery by releasing the reset on the
SM72442.
14.2 Function: Main()
The “Main” function calls the” Init()” function, which simply initializes the variables and the registers. The
program then enters an infinite while-loop in which the values of the sensed voltages and current are
recovered from the SM72442 through I2C. The function “check_lead_acid()” is called and returns a value
based on the voltage of the battery. The “Main” function uses this value to modify the behavior of the
system. The following lists the values returned from the “check_lead_acid()” function the corresponding
action the “Main” function will take:
1 (fully charged battery): The floating charge voltage setpoint will be sent to SM72442 through I2C
2 (heavily discharged battery): Trickle charge will be applied
3 (battery voltage too low): System shuts down by keeping the SM72442 in reset mode (bit RB2 set)
4 (battery voltage too high): System shuts down by keeping the SM72442 in reset mode (bit RB2 set)
5 (battery voltage slightly high in floating charge): System shuts down by keeping the SM72442 in
reset mode (bit RB2 set) and hysteresis flag set
6 (battery voltage dropped below 13V after hysteresis flag set): Re-enable SM72442, hysteresis flag
reset
The Main function also resets the watchdog timer once every iteration of the while-loop.
14.3 Function: get_i2c_data
This function reads the sampled voltage of pin AIIN(19), AVIN(15), AIOUT(21), and AVOUT(17) of the
SM72442. The data is fetched through the I2C channel. The function updates the global variable “outval”
which is an array of unsigned 16 bit integers. The data only occupies 10bits of each integer (full
scale=1023).
outval[0] = input current
outval[1] = input voltage
outval[2] = output current
outval[3] = output voltage

15 Charging a Li-ion Battery
Although this evaluation board was specifically designed for charging a lead-acid battery, it can be re-
configured to accommodate the Li-ion chemistry battery through a combination of hardware and software
changes. In order to re-configure the board for Li-ion charging, the following steps need to be done:
1. The voltage sensing resistors R103, R104, R51, R52 and R53 and OVP resistors R71 and R72 need
to be changed to the proper values. It is critical for this application that the full scale voltage range for
sensing is as close as possible to the voltage of the battery to maximize the resolution of the sensed
voltage. The level of the OVP circuit needs to be scaled so that it does not trigger when the battery
approaches full SOC but at a voltage slightly higher.

R103 and R104 set the voltage at the input of the microcontroller. The voltage at the input of the
microcontroller is:
(2)
R103 and R104 should be chosen so that the maximum expected battery voltage creates a voltage
close to 5V to maximize resolution (but less than 5V to avoid saturating the measure).
R51, R52 and R53 are for the voltage measurement of the SM72442 and should be modified in the
same way:
(3)
R21 needs to be set to zero ohm (short).
Once the values are picked, the proper threshold needs to be programmed through I2C. The
maximum level (0x3FF) is now VAVOUT = 5V at the input of the SM72442.
Finally, the overvoltage protection should be adjusted to:
(4)
The OVP level is set at VHARD_OVP = 5v.
2. The proper voltage setpoints and charging curve need to be programmed in the microcontroller. The
initial voltage limit is set by R28 and R38. Voltage limit setpoint is AVOUT = A0. Once overridden
through I2C, the voltage at A0 is not used anymore. Hence, there is the option of setting the value
through resistors R28 and R38 or by programming it from the microcontroller into SM72442 through
I2C each time the SM72442 is reset/powered.
3. Proper current limits also need to be set if required by the battery model. The current limit value is set
when the voltage at pin 3 of U11A equals the voltage at pin 2. Hence, R111 and R112 will need to be
adjusted accordingly.
4. The software needs to be changed to follow the Li-ion charge control profile: battery voltage is set
either by hardware as stated above, which requires no action from the software, or it is set from the
microcontroller through the I2C interface similar to the Lead Acid battery.
5. Finally, the software needs to include the full State-Of-Charge cut-off: When the battery reaches its full
voltage and current has dropped below 500mA (can vary depending on battery), charge is cut-off and
the battery is considered fully charged (no trickle charge of Li-ion batteries should be done). It is
important to remember that current can drop below 500mA during the charge when solar power
becomes unavailable (low light intensity). Therefore the charge cut-off needs to be programmed to
occur only when the battery voltage is at the limit AND current has dropped below the required
threshold.
Figure 19 shows the typical charging profile for a Li-ion battery.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
